FEIJOADA - BRAZILIAN BLACK BEANS WITH SMOKED MEATS
Feijoada is one of Brazil's national treasures. This is a dish that is meant to serve a group, and the preparation begins the night before. Several kinds of smoked meats, ribs, and beef jerky are simmered with the black beans. The meats are removed and served separately on a platter Preparation time includes soaking beans and beef jerky overnight. That is why it is so long.
